Love the pine trees!…read more This is my second time to watch an SYF game in this school. It's the Colfax Jr Falcons vs Liberty Ranch Jr Hawks playing this Saturday. This review is for the Robert O. Marson Field. The school colors are green and white. There are bleacher seating on both sides (home and visitor side) but smaller scale than I've seen compared to other schools. The field is beautiful, has real turf grass and surrounded by pine trees all around. It's so green and pretty. The field is located behind the school. Actually, the whole school is encircled in beautiful, tall pine trees. The officials were provided a tent, which is nice. The weather calls for a highs 88 degrees today and it's good that the referees are able to take some break under a shaded canopy in between games. They have a nice sound system, clearly heard across the field. I thought it was cool that the officials' full names were mentioned during the game prior to playing of the National Anthem.

Just went here for the 2008 graduation…read more Matt's daughter was there, and she made valedictorian... congrats on that, sir!! And perfect attendance for four years? Damn... she's good! The graduation was LONG. 200 students names, goals, and fondest memories were read off by two ladies who were very good at reading and speaking, I was impressed by them. The audio set up was pretty sad... (my best friends are audio majors, my roommate a dj) so the sound quality was lacking and I couldn't help but notice. They didn't have fireworks or a big projection screen like my high school... but I really liked the personal attention given to each student. Yeah, it was hard to sit through, but I found it interesting. Teachers ran up and gave their students hugs as they received their diplomas. I'm impressed with the connections they had with each student... and I think my cousin was lucky to go here. After all, fancy graduations are not as important as a quality education in a healthy caring environment. Only one question... whats with everyone wanting to be a CHP officer when they grow up? Uhhh... Don't speed around here in a few years. Congrats to the class of 08'. Specifically my cousin!

There is a phrase that gets overused these days but is no less true in this instance: Game Changer…read more This school has been an absolute game changer for our family. We started with the preschool (which I encourage any family to try) and fell in love with the educational philosophy, the classmates and their families, the campus, and what our own family has become. If you are looking for a preschool stop your search now, it's absolutely wonderful. Continuing into grade school might be something to evaluate, but the preschool is a no-brainer.

I brought my children to Live Oak 20 years ago, moving to the foothills from Davis where my oldest…read morehad attended Davis Waldorf. She entered 3rd grade, my son started Kindergarten, and my littles were still... little. Since then, all four of my children graduated from Live Oak and have moved on to become heart-centered, insightful, intelligent adults. Through family ups and downs (including the loss of my husband), the Live Oak community has been the solid rock under our feet. In fact, my children often remark when they think of "home" or their "home town," they think of Live Oak Waldorf School.

We really wanted to love this school - it has all the makings of a great environment…read more Unfortunately the staff is the worst we've ever encountered. The front office ladies are not only rude and disrespectful to the students but also to the parents. The teachers are hanging on by a thread and are all struggling to handle the large classroom sizes and crap curriculum. None of the teachers care about the students and don't even remember their names after the year ends. They hinder creativity and support bullying. Some of the staff are active bully's. Every parent I've spoken with feels the same way and most kids are failing their classes or have zero after school life trying to keep up with the massive amount of homework they assign. The only thing my kids are learning is that life isn't fair, people are mean and school teaches a bunch of useless material. If you have other options for your kids education, I highly suggest going that route.

If your child has needs, don't expect much. The "special education" department will fight you all…read morethe way. Complain early, demand assessments, demand an IEE when they say your kid is doing fine even when they're clearly not. The psychologist and program administrator did their best to ignore my kid's moderate-severe communication disorder and ADHD despite YEARS of historical data and independent diagnoses, and only relented when I got an education advocate and the county ed department involved. Even then they did the bare minimum. Please DON'T HESITATE to complain to the state for what your child is ENTITLED to. YOU pay for these services through your taxes. EVERY CHILD is entitled to a free and appropriate education. If you're struggling with this school, please know it gets better when they get to Colfax High. Disgusted with this school. The community deserves better.

Great Teachers. Very lacking principal though. So much potential with the expeditionary learning,…read morejust absolutely weak leadership.

Excellent school, great learning tools, tons of support from teachers and staff as for your lesson…read moreplans. Every one is very friendly and accepting of your age, culture, religion. The classes are a lot of fun for the kids and the do some really creative stuff. I am very impressed with all my friends older children that graduated from this school. I wouldn't consider any other school if you are thinking about home school this a the best choice.

My child getting hurt, bee sting at one point and no call, when talked to office no one know anything, get the run around excuses. Also I saw many parents come in at time as I was in office with consers to address and the office staff along with the principal being really rude towards these parents. So am not the only parent having issues When address these issues all staff including superintendent lacks consers they seem to say, first time I've heard, yet I've seen and myself complaining of issues to be addressed. Schools are not like they us to be. Sad to say I'll be pull my kid out of this school and getting home school instead.

At first the school seemed good. But the more you pay attention after being unheard and ignored you…read morepay more attention. Biggest issue currently is superintendent/principal, vice principal and front office. If you are low income you are treated horribly. I admit I've made my mistakes and won't ever deny it. But they love to back you in a corner and beat you down. More concerns over fundraising than students in my and my child's opinion.

At first I thought it was just me but today the teacher says "yea even with everything going on he is doing good" lol what does that mean.
